Or rose-bud more in fashion:

Such short-lived off'rings but disclose

A transitory passion.

I'll give thee something yet unpaid,

Not less sincere than civil,—

I'll give thee—ah! too charming maid!—

I'll give thee—to the Devil.

THRENODIA AUGUSTALIS,

SACRED TO THE MEMORY OF HER ROYAL HIGHNESS

THE PRINCESS DOWAGER OF WALES.
